Injections into the gums to strengthen gums and teeth

Foreign clinics have never performed such a procedure as an injection to treat gums, because it causes enormous harm to both teeth and gums. Research has shown that antibiotic injections cause it to accumulate in the gum tissue and bone around the teeth. This leads to the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms and, as a result, to gum inflammation. Further, this is fraught with tooth mobility. In some Russian dental clinics, usually private, such injections are still practiced.

However, most clinics use antibiotic tablets and capsules to treat gum disease. The only injections that are given to strengthen gums are vitamin injections. The most commonly used are vitamin C and aloe. They are strong antioxidants. Thanks to this, a large number of microbes die. Injections are given with regular insulin syringes. You can also use folk remedies to strengthen your gums. This is a painless, cheap and effective method.

Folk remedies for strengthening gums

One of the most common folk ways to strengthen gums is the use of decoctions and infusions of medicinal plants. Commonly used are chamomile, sage, calendula, St. John's wort, yarrow, juniper, lingonberry and tricolor violet leaves. Decoctions of oak bark and linden blossom are very helpful in treating and strengthening gums.

Massage is also quite effective for strengthening gums. It can be done simply with your fingers. This will improve blood circulation and strengthen your gums.

To remove plaque from teeth at home, you can add sea or table salt to your toothpaste. You can also use a special toothpaste for bleeding gums. This paste contains not only a large number of medicinal herbs, but also fluoride, which helps prevent inflammation, strengthen tooth enamel and protect teeth from caries.

In addition, special gels and ointments are used in the treatment of gums. They heal foci of inflammation, forming an indelible protective film.

To keep your teeth and gums healthy, you need to consume various vitamins. If the body does not have enough vitamin A, it can lead to loose teeth. For the proper exchange of calcium and phosphorus, vitamin D is necessary. It helps the absorption and proper assimilation of these elements. Thanks to vitamin C, calcium is absorbed in the bone cells of the teeth. Vitamin B6 is prescribed in the form of medications or intramuscular injections for periodontal diseases.

A lack of calcium in the body can lead to various diseases of the teeth and gums. Therefore, it is better to take it in the form of dietary supplements.

Gum treatment: price

The cost of the service is formed from various aspects. It is affected by:

· stage of the disease;

· extent of damage;

· cost of medicines;

· volume of work of a doctor.

Our price is not overpriced and is formed quite transparently. If you live in the capital, then gum treatment in Moscow will cost you inexpensively in a clinic that provides a similar service.

Treatment of gums in dentistry requires careful and long-term therapy. An experienced doctor will examine the oral cavity, identify problems in the gums and teeth and begin the necessary treatment. The price of treatment is also influenced by the cost of injections. How much the patient will spend depends on the characteristics of the disease.

You can find out the cost of our dental services in advance from the administrator or by calling the specified phone number.

Treatment of periodontal disease with injections: what kind of injections are used?

Periodontal disease is a disease of the oral cavity that is caused by exposure to pathogenic microorganisms. The affected area is the periodontium - the tissue surrounding the tooth. During the course of the disease, the gums and alveolar part of the jaw atrophy.

The initial signs of the disease are inflammation and bleeding of tissues. And this is already enough to contact a specialist, because periodontal disease is very dangerous and threatens a person with further health complications.

Injections into the gums are an important method of treating periodontal disease.

When can you see the first results after plasma lifting?

The effect will not be noticeable in the first minutes after the procedure. It will take about two weeks for a visible picture, and the patient’s full recovery after plasmolifting of the gums will be in approximately a month.

So, how many plasmolifting procedures with your own plasma do you need to do to see the effect?

• for minor damage to the soft tissues of the oral cavity, one procedure is sufficient;
• in case of obvious destruction, atrophy, inflammation and serious pathologies, the patient will need approximately two procedures, with the interval between them should be approximately 90 - 100 days.

Consequences of periodontal disease

Periodontal disease can lead to the following consequences:

1. intoxication of the body with purulent secretions;
2. periodontitis;
3. periostitis;
4. osteomyelitis of the jaw bones;
5. retrograde pulpitis;
6. ulcerative gingivitis;
7. lymphadenitis;
8. increasing the load on healthy teeth;
9. impossibility of prosthetics;
10. the occurrence of stomach problems due to insufficient chewing of food and the presence of bacteria in the oral cavity.

The process of treating the disease is quite long and not very pleasant.

Correct comprehensive treatment, which is prescribed by a specialist depending on the extent of the inflammation, will help speed it up. The most effective method is to inject injections into the inflamed areas of the gums. This method is quite simple and relatively painless.

It is worth remembering that regular and high-quality oral hygiene can almost always prevent the occurrence of periodontal disease. You should not neglect it during the treatment process, it will significantly speed up your recovery time.

Features of injection treatment

Effective fight against the disease can only occur in a comprehensive manner, therefore the following types of drugs are prescribed:

1. vitamins for teeth and gums containing zinc, iron and copper;
2. immunomodulators;
3. drugs that saturate the gums with oxygen - Lidaza;
4. glucose;
5. weak solution of hydrogen peroxide.

For the treatment of the oral cavity, the following injections are distinguished:

1. antibacterial drugs;
2. antitoxic serums;
3. biogenic stimulants;
4. sclerosing therapy;
5. Ribonuclease and Methyluracil.

Antibacterial drugs

The basic basis of periodontal disease treatment involves the administration of antibiotics. They are more effective in injections. The most commonly used drugs are Metronidazole and Doxycycline. When combined with Chlorhexidine, treatment becomes more effective. The course of such treatment takes place in just 5–7 days.

After the injection, inflammation goes away, pain decreases, and bleeding disappears. However, the use of antibiotics leads to severe tooth mobility due to the release of large amounts of toxins, leading to tissue death.

Antibiotics are used for moderate and severe disease processes. Use in milder forms can lead to complications: severe pain and increased sensitivity to the active substance of the drug.

Antitoxic serums

Such drugs lead to the complete destruction of pathogens in the oral cavity. The serum contains specific antibodies that eliminate exotoxins. Injections with this medicine increase immunity and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Treatment takes a record amount of time.

The dosage is selected individually, depending on age and weight. It is worth considering that these drugs can cause allergies and adverse reactions in the form of:

1. anaphylactic shock;
2. arthralgia;
3. lymphadenitis;
4. temperature rise.

Biogenic stimulants

In combination with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, stimulating drugs - aloe extract and FIBS - are necessarily prescribed. These medications regulate the metabolic process.

Aloe extract for periodontal disease

• Aloe extract is prescribed for severe inflammation. Use it for a month and a half, every other day.
• Injections of Filatov's biogenic stimulator are made into the upper and lower jaws, up to 30 injections are provided. The drug is contraindicated for high blood pressure and intestinal disorders.
• The drugs are prescribed in combination with agents of nonspecific action - Metacin, Pentoxyl, Biosed. Thanks to this, the treatment period is significantly reduced.

Sclerosing therapy

During this therapy, injections are given with chromium alum and quinine urethane preparations, which relieve looseness and swelling of the gums. A full course of treatment strengthens the mucosa and promotes the formation of new tissue. This therapy is contraindicated in people with gingivitis.

A deeper therapy process involves giving injections into the gum papillae, using a 40% glucose solution. The amount of solution is adjusted depending on the degree of swelling. The course of treatment consists of eight injections with an interval of two to three days between them.

Ribonuclease and Methyluracil for periodontal disease

Such drugs are prescribed additionally for a more effective treatment process. Ribonuclease is an enzymatic substance that promotes tissue repair and blood vessel growth. And Methyluracil is a drug that has an anabolic effect - stimulating the process of growth and restoration of tissue cells.

Are there any negative reviews?

This procedure, as a rule, does not cause side effects or unpleasant health consequences. Complications can only occur if the blood is infected during the collection process, but this can be resolved by a responsible approach to the choice of dentistry.

After injections, slight redness at the injection sites, bruising and swelling are acceptable, but these manifestations disappear within a few days.

It should be noted that the plasma lifting procedure is relatively new, so it is not practiced in all clinics. And the need to use special equipment to separate plasma makes it relatively expensive.

Possible complications from injections

The treatment process is not always easy and quick, and there is a risk of complications. If problems arise after the procedure, you must apply Solcoseryl ointment and consult a doctor.

If pathogenic microorganisms enter the injection wound, a small lump or lump may occur. It is also possible that the patient’s temperature may increase.

The injection may cause your cheek to swell when the facial nerve is hit. This will cause pain and stiffness in the facial muscles.

Plasmolifting in the treatment of periodontal disease

In dentistry, this disease is also treated with blood plasma injections. This method is quite young, but is already gaining popularity. It is distinguished by its safety and hypoallergenicity.

The essence of this method is that the required amount of blood is taken from a person and the plasma is separated from other components using a centrifuge. It is this plasma that is injected in the form of injections into the affected areas of tissue.

This treatment method has a number of positive properties:

1. faster wound healing;
2. elimination of bleeding;
3. elimination of unpleasant odor;
4. pain relief.

Plasmolifting is strictly contraindicated for HIV infections, Hepatitis and infectious diseases.

Despite the possible risks, the process of treating periodontal disease with injections is quite effective. In addition to getting rid of the disease, injections also get rid of the causes. They normalize the metabolic process, strengthen gums, restore microflora and increase immunity.

The course of treatment in this way is much shorter than taking conventional tablets and ointments. The thing is that the medicine gets to the site of inflammation faster in a higher concentration.

Worth remembering! Correct and effective treatment is prescribed only by the attending physician. You should not self-medicate, as this can only aggravate the whole process.

The whole essence of the plasma lifting technique is in simple facts

The plasmolifting procedure is based on PRP therapy (PRP) technology and the unique, patented “Plasmodent” method, which was created directly to improve the condition of the gums in people with various oral diseases.

The essence of the treatment is the introduction of the patient’s own purified plasma into certain areas of the gum tissue. The patient's blood is first collected and purified in a centrifuge.

Specialists take a minimal amount of blood (approximately 15 ml of liquid for a large area of ​​gum).

The resulting patient plasma contains useful components in high concentrations: platelets, proteins - natural activators of regeneration processes.

Plasmolifting with your own plasma helps to launch natural processes - without chemicals, surgeries and other complex procedures.

Due to the fact that the plasma lifting procedure uses its own plasma, the technique is completely safe for health. Natural enriched liquid powerfully stimulates local immunity and gives impetus to beneficial processes.

Injections for periodontal disease - injection treatment

The progression of the disease can be stopped and unpleasant symptoms can be eliminated with the help of injections of medicinal and restorative drugs. Agents that enhance cellular metabolism stimulate the formation of new tissue and strengthen the mucous membrane, eliminate the cause of the disease and strengthen local immunity.

At the same time, you need to understand that a severe form of the disease cannot be treated with injections, because No drugs can restore damaged tooth bone tissue and gums. In these cases, doctors suggest performing bone augmentation or flap surgery.

Weak and loose gums: causes

To understand how to strengthen your gums at home, it is important to understand the causes of gum inflammation. If you look carefully at the photos of patients with gingivitis and periodontitis (Fig. 1-6), you will see that in absolutely all photographs in the area of ​​​​the necks of the teeth or in the interdental spaces you can see accumulations of soft microbial plaque and/or deposits of hard tartar . And this is no coincidence. Inflammation in the gums does not occur on its own - it occurs solely due to the impact of pathogenic bacteria on the gums by microbial plaque and tartar.

Bacteria release various toxins and pathogens, which trigger an inflammatory reaction in the gums. And when you start using various mouth rinses, gum ointments or pastes for bleeding without removing plaque, all this does not in any way affect the cause of inflammation (plaque and tartar), but only allows you to muffle its symptoms. Due to strong active components, swelling and redness of the gums and bleeding are temporarily reduced. At the same time, pathogenic bacteria remaining on the teeth will continue to produce toxins, slowly and less noticeably continuing to destroy the gums.

Important: any antiseptic or anti-inflammatory agents for gums, used without first removing dental plaque, lead only to a temporary reduction in the symptoms of inflammation, but most importantly, to the transition of inflammation into a chronic form and unnoticed progression of the disease.

It is logical that the appearance of dental plaque is associated with insufficient/irregular oral hygiene. But when you start talking about this with patients, almost no one wants not only to admit this fact, but also to change their behavior pattern (dental care). Good oral hygiene includes more than just brushing your teeth after every meal, i.e. 3 times a day, but also be sure to use dental floss to clean the interdental spaces. Therefore, it is very important, among other things, to avoid snacking between meals.

Over the many years of working as a periodontist, I have seen thousands of patients who were willing to spend a lot of time preparing various tinctures, gum massage, all kinds of rinses and applications. But when it came to brushing their teeth, they were not able to spend 5 minutes 3 times a day to properly brush their teeth, first with floss, and then with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Although, it is this, and not various medications, that is the key to healthy teeth and gums.

Yes, and one more important point - looking in the mirror at their inflamed gums, some patients may not see the accumulation of plaque and tartar. How so? - you ask. Not only did they tell me that stones on the teeth are formed not from hard water, but from poor hygiene... there are also no stones on the teeth, but there is inflammation in the gums. What's the matter, doctor? I believed you so much... and then comes a crying emoticon. But the whole point is that hard dental deposits can be not only supragingival, but also subgingival.

In patients with chronic periodontitis, hard dental deposits (tartar) most often form in periodontal pockets, and look like microbial plaques of different sizes, firmly attached to the surface of the tooth root. Such subgingival dental plaque causes even more damage to the gums than supragingival plaque. At the same time, finding and removing them, due to the lack of visual control, is much more difficult and requires a certain skill and perseverance.

In the photo below you can see how teeth with periodontitis that appear to have completely normal gums can actually have a deep periodontal pocket with a large amount of destroyed bone tissue (the second photo was taken after gum detachment). And this destruction was caused by the very subgingival tartar that we indicated with the arrow.

This bone destruction caused by subgingival dental plaque proceeds unnoticed until a certain point - until the amount of bone destruction becomes so large that tooth mobility occurs. In general, after this, all treatment comes down to the fight for survival and an attempt to delay tooth extraction. Therefore, you need to go to the dentist and remove deposits - not when it gets really bad, but much earlier.

Contraindications to injections for periodontal disease

For effective treatment, the doctor prescribes a set of drugs, each of which has contraindications for use. Therefore, it is important to undergo examination and identify possible diseases before starting therapy. For example, in case of autoimmune diseases (diabetes mellitus, glomerulonephritis, multiple sclerosis), immunomodulators are strictly prohibited. Cardiac decompensation and pulmonary failure are contraindications to the use of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Treatment is not started in the presence of foci of inflammation in the body or in the acute stage of any disease. During pregnancy and lactation, injections are prescribed with caution; if possible, opt for non-drug treatment (massage, rinsing).

TOP 8 strict contraindications for plasma lifting

Despite the extensive positive effect of the gum plasma lifting technique, the procedure has a number of contraindications:

• diseases of the hematopoietic system and organ diseases that affect the composition of the blood;
• violation of the blood clotting process;
• cancer diseases;
• the presence of serious general diseases such as tuberculosis, hepatitis, immunodeficiency;
• severe problems with the heart and blood vessels;
• diabetes;
• diseases of the endocrine system;
• all kinds of acute inflammation.

Therefore, before carrying out the gum plasma lifting procedure, it is recommended to undergo a comprehensive examination of the body, take a general and biochemical blood test, and identify and treat diseases. If you do not follow the recommendations of experts, instead of a progressive positive result from plasma administration, serious health problems may arise.

How are injections performed?

Injections into the gums do not cause much discomfort and most often do not cause severe pain. They are performed with special syringes with a very thin and short needle. If you need to undergo a course of injections (and for periodontal disease, up to 20 injections are sometimes prescribed daily), first the gums are anesthetized with an anesthetic: ultracaine, ubistizin, scandonest or another.

The drug is administered using a special carpule syringe. If the patient complains of increased sensitivity of the gums, the injection site can be pre-numbed with special anesthetics in the form of a gel, ointment or spray.

What is gum plasma lifting?

The term “plasmolifting” is used by dentists to refer to the injection of plasma with a high platelet content. It is separated from the patient’s own blood and injected into the gums. This autoplasma is rich in proteins, enzymes and hormones, and therefore promotes the regeneration of the oral mucosa and bone tissue. It triggers natural mechanisms of cell renewal and collagen growth, relieves inflammation, supplies tissues with oxygen and increases local immunity. As a result of the injection, it is possible to reduce or completely eliminate gum bleeding, return them to their original structure and color, and reduce tooth mobility.

What medications are prescribed for periodontal disease?

The goal of therapy is to strengthen the gums and stimulate metabolic processes. This problem needs to be solved comprehensively, so the dentist prescribes treatment with several drugs simultaneously.

Immunomodulators

Stimulation of the immune system allows you to accelerate tissue regeneration, resist the development of the inflammatory process and increase the overall resistance of the body. Since periodontal disease is often associated with disturbances in the functioning of the immune system, the administration of immunomodulators allows for a faster complete recovery. The choice of drug is always made by the doctor after studying the medical history. Immunomodulators such as:

1. Timalin. It is a complex of polypeptides. Stimulates the body's immunological reactivity, helps increase cellular immunity, regulates the number of lymphocytes, and enhances the activity of phagocytes.
2. Thymogen. A synthetic dipeptide that activates intercellular metabolism, stimulates the activity of bone marrow cells, and has an antioxidant effect.
3. Galavit or sodium salt of luminol. It has an anti-inflammatory effect, restores the body's protective functions, increasing its nonspecific resistance to infectious diseases.
4. Pyrogenal. Lipopolysaccharide, which activates the body's defenses and stimulates recovery processes. Suppresses the development of scar tissue.

Contraindications to the use of drugs that activate the immune response are the presence of liver and kidney diseases, disorders of the thyroid gland, and any autoimmune diseases.

Vitamin complexes

Vitamins play an important role in the treatment of periodontal disease. One of the reasons for the development of this disease is considered to be metabolic disorders, since the lack of vitamins affects the protective functions of the body and promotes tissue atrophy. In case of periodontal disease, it is advisable to prescribe vitamins in injections, this way the required concentration of substances in the gum tissues is quickly achieved. The following vitamins and complex preparations are indicated:

1. Aevit. Contains fat-soluble vitamins A and E. Retinol (vitamin A) is necessary for reproductive function, promotes tissue regeneration, and stimulates metabolism. Tocopherol (vitamin E) ensures the normal functioning of muscle and nerve fibers and acts as an antioxidant.
2. B vitamins (B6, B12, B1). They improve cellular metabolism, participate in the processes of carbohydrate metabolism and hemoglobin synthesis. Promotes rapid healing of wounds and the formation of new tissue.
3. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Increases the number of lymphocytes, enhances their activity. It has an immunostimulating effect, therefore it is often prescribed to elderly people and patients after surgical operations. Prevents the development of infectious lesions.

Vitamins are prescribed with caution to patients with severe atherosclerosis and a history of myocardial infarction. In the absence of contraindications, the administration of vitamin preparations can quickly achieve visible improvement in periodontal disease.

Biostimulants

Biogenic stimulants are preparations of plant or animal origin that enhance metabolic and regeneration processes in the body. In case of periodontal disease, the choice is most often made in favor of liquid aloe extract. It has a local anti-inflammatory effect, stimulates healing, accelerates tissue regeneration and strengthening. In addition to this drug, doctors prescribe:

Contraindications to the prescription of biostimulants are allergic reactions to the components and individual hypersensitivity to the drug. Prescribe with caution for cardiovascular diseases and hypertension.

Sclerosing therapy

To reduce swelling and sagging gum tissue, injections of 40% glucose solution or 5% hydrogen peroxide are prescribed. These substances cause tissue compaction and swelling reduction. In the absence of individual contraindications, the drug of choice is glucose. Such injections are painless and well tolerated by patients. Contraindications: desquamative (geographic) gingivitis.

Reference. Before sclerosing therapy, dental plaque must be removed and the oral cavity must be sanitized.

Antibacterial therapy

Despite the fact that periodontal disease itself does not cause inflammation, periodontitis often develops simultaneously with it. In order for the treatment of the underlying disease to show good results, it is necessary to eliminate acute inflammation. Antibiotics may be prescribed for this. The choice of drug and the duration of the course depend on the stage of the disease and medical history.

In recent years, dentists have noted a decrease in the effectiveness of conventional antibiotics. This is due to the formation of resistant strains of microbes. Therefore, when choosing a drug, you should pay attention to new agents to which the pathogenic flora has not yet lost sensitivity. It is advisable to use:

Antibiotics can be used not only in the form of injections, but also in the form of a solution for applications, gels, rinsing solutions, and tablets.

Possible complications in the treatment of periodontal disease

Injections into periodontal tissues can lead to unwanted complications. When giving an injection with a non-sterile instrument, an abscess may form. In this case, the resulting inflammation is opened and sanitized. Rinse with disinfectant solutions is prescribed.

If the needle touches the facial or trigeminal nerve, neuralgia may develop, a disease manifested by sharp pain in the areas of innervation of the corresponding nerves. In severe cases, novocaine injections may be prescribed to relieve pain.

Sometimes injury to soft tissues with a needle causes pain that does not go away for a long time. In this case, dentists recommend applying Solcoseryl gel to the gums.
